    Just seen these in the M&S website:D . I think they'd make lovely sophisticated hampers- you could fill then wrap half open. Just a thought- quite a good price too- only £2.50.

    This is absolutely gorgeous. Whatis it supposed to be a gift bag? a box file? any chance you could post a link?

    Thanks

  • Just been to Homebase for something completely unrelated and they had some lovely baskets from £1.49!!
    Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together. :p


  • You beat me to it with the link!

    Unfortunately there are no dimensions on the website but I might pop into a store to see if I can see them. I will report back.

    Hi all love those M & S gift bags, think I have enough baskets now though. Was just looking through my favourites list and found a site I had saved from last year on here http://www.candigifts.co.uk/ they have some lovely things on there. Postage is quite high but you could maybe club together with someone else and split the cost. HTH

    o0o its not 5 days, 5 weeks. Sorry to hear about your loss :( I lost one in october also.

    Just sold another hamper :D well I seem to be making to order rather than making up and selling, only to friends though.

    Really admire you, 35 weeks pregnant and making lovely presents for others. How are you going to keep your hamper empire going when you've a tiny one to look after?
